Ascending Stairs Leading Towards Radiant Source

Create an image of a person ascending a set of stairs leading towards a radiant light source. Surround the scene with abstract symbols representing knowledge and growth, such as gears, lightbulbs, and plant silhouettes. Instead of specific growth charts, depict a variety of flourishing plants in pots along the steps. Feature an open book at the base of the stairs, with glowing pages. The overall color palette should be warm and vibrant, conveying a sense of hope and progress.
